Biodiversity strengthens Majulis candidature
While its cultural and spiritual heritage makes it an ideal candidate for acquiring the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its rich biodiversity only adds to that claim. Not many may be aware, but Majuli, one among the largest river islands inhabited the world, possesses a range of animal and plant life that is of considerable significance. The picture once completed by researchers would definitely help it gain more focus in the national and international scene, said a noted environmentalist.
